On one core. Erlang and Elixir will blow it away when employing more cores, naturally.
Though OCaml would probably perform similarly or better (for certain CPU-bound tasks) when running N processes to N cores. You'll need to bring your own IPC mechanism - this is probably the key BEAM value add.

You sell based on productivity, performance, and correctness:
"By using this technology, you will have less bugs, which is cheaper and more productive in the long-term."
Granted, this is a very hard thing to prove, it has anecdotally been my experience with ML-derivatives.
